At best, they are buried somewhere within these 130 pages, but just as likely they are, in fact, "missing". The reason I put that word in quotation marks is because there is realistically no point - KG are the translators, and everyone has their version of the game. Platforms have it adapted for their distribution method (looking at you, Steam), but the game content itself is the exact same thing. And my guess is GOG was the easiest to hack/circumvent/whatever was done to the game to pirate it.I've only seen GOG releases shared here. Have the Steam/Kagura versions just never been uploaded/posted in this thread at all, or am I just blind and missing them?
As you probably picked up from reading those "mentioned" comments, each platform had its own versioning scheme, e.g., ONEONE1 handed the game off to KaguraGames for translation when the game was at 1.03; KG translates it and releases it as 1.0 (because to KG it IS the first release); ONEONE1 fixes some minor bugs and updates the game to 1.034; now KG has to incorporate that into their release and now their release is 1.01 (or whatever their rules for versioning are). At this point, Steam jumps in and gets the translated "KG 1.01" for distribution - now Steam has 1.0 because again, for them it is the first release. Now we have 1.034 dev side, 1.01 KG, 1.0 Steam and they all are the exact same thing. Then GOG enters the chat, you just sprinkle all that with a few more bugfix updates and patches from ONEONE1 - and you arrive at the chaos you asked about.Also, about the GOG versioning – I saw 1.04 Append mentioned for what was available, but the GOG store itself specifically listed this game as version 1.5. And the thread title here is 1.05. That's quite the mix-up, haha.
At the end of the day, most users could hardly care less about what those fancy digits represent, all they care about is "is this the latest version of the game? Yes/No". And for Ideology the answer has been "Yes" for a long time.
